is this really worth playing now? i don't know if it's worth an install even as a f2p game; i've only heard bad things about it. a lot of my WoW guild left when it came out, and came back a few weeks later saying it was garbage.

wat do?

Don't see how this thread is System Wars material but thanks for the info. I'm gonna download it just to play with its character creation which is suppose to be very in depth and awesome, and then uninstall it. I refuse to play and support free to pay games.

Aren´t they just droping the monthly fees? Don´t you still have to buy the game anyway?

I've been in this game since launch, dont know why they're going free to play, well its more like an exteneded demo... unlimited access lvl 1-60, then I guess u need a sub to go beyond but still, they are releasing there 3.0 expansion which is supposed to be massive at the same time as the free to play to start.

If it's free, why not give it a go. What have you got to lose?

I may give it a try....If people are looking for a free MMO I would recommend Star Trek Online..The game is free and so is the monthly fees. The space combat makes it one of the best MMO outthere.

I don't get it. Did they removed the monthly fee or the game is free to download AND without monthly fees?

The character creator is really nice, but that's about it. It is a game that likes to waste your time in padding and making you do some petty """" before getting to the fun stuff. Fun stuff that you may not even like.

Obviously the game became so malevolent towards you that it made you played it some sort of dimension where travels at a slower pace. Although you have only played 9 hours in the real word; the game did 209 hours worth of damage.

If it's F2P, it's probably not worth it.

Only game to prove me wrong is TF2, but I bought that. And League of Legends

out of the few MMOs i've played (WOW, Rift, and Aion) Aion is the only one I kept coming back to. i do enjoy it and I hope this FTP will expand the people who start playing, but yes that being said it does have a lot of grinding and IMHO the game doesn't really start till level 10.

Yet another game has tried to compete with wow and has failed. Next to follow is the starwars mmo. only game that has ever actually gave wow a challenge is Gw and thats because it carved its self a nice niche in the mmo market.

It's pretty tame compared to the other Asian MMO's released at it's time. Compared to some of the newer ones it's probably still pretty grindy though. It did only take 2 weeks for the first level 50 when the game launched.

It WAS extremly grindy. Actually i cannot even explain how grindy it is, even by asian MMO standards.

fixed I levelled 1-55 in 25 days 3-5 hours a week. Only grind is 48-50 which is still a joke with repeatable quests giving 2kk xp
